Don’t you believe it!

The truth is that at any given moment, you can find African-Americans “out there” all over the planet — vacationing, working and living as expats, teaching, running businesses, the full spectrum of life and success. Travel is our new virtual Strivers Row — and you can share their journeys right here on this page!

So check out WHO’S GOING WHERE. Some of them are blogging their journey or their expat life; be sure to check out their sites! And if you ever find yourself contemplating a trip yourself, come back and connect with a brother or sisters who’ve already been there and done that!

EUROPE
Monique White Rubin, Expat of Color based in Amsterdam, loves running around Europe. Literally. She and a couple of fellow expats are currently training for the 2012 Milano City Marathon in Milan, Italy. You GO, Mo!
